ought to decide in favor of the former. Mr..
Chapman has been tried and found to be a
capable and satisfactory chief magistrate.
mat TACT ought to weigh great deal in his
FAVOR as against man who has not been
Tried IN hatposition, and, other things being
equal, 1t ought to be sufficient, and would be
II the office were a private one, to settle the
question in his favor.
OF course there might be other facts to
counterbalance this one. But there are
none in this contest On the contrary such
as there are only tend to strengthen it. The
character of Mr.. Chapman's support is GER
tainly not inferior to Mr. McCarthy'S. The
Republican voters of this city are certainly as
jealous Of the welfare Of the commonwealth
as the Democratic voters. The influences
which will surround Mr.. Chapman are not
likely to be any less respectable than those
that will surround Mr.. Mccarthy.
Then why is it that such desperate efforts
are being put forth to elect Mr.. Mccarthy,
fer, deny it as often and as strenuously as
the Argus may. there is no doubt that good
deal of money is being spent and great deal
of work done in Mr.. McCarthy's interest
Why is it that when even their own organs
admit that Mr.. Chapman has made salts
factory Mayor and do not pretend to claim
that the interests of the city demand a
change Democratic officials are at work
like beavers to compass Mayor Chapman's
defeat? Last year when two untried men
were candidates they let the election go by
default This year when one of the candi-
dates is a man tried and found efficient, and
the other untried, they are raising heaven
and earth to elect the untried man. Certain
ly ii cannot be regard for the welfare of
the city that inspires their efforts.

A Fraudulent mill Product.

1t is generally conceded that there it not
much chance for practicing profitable fraud
in the adulteration of breading flour, wheat
being about the cheapest material out Of
which marketable -four can be made, and the
color and taste Of bread, ordinarily, quickly
indicating whether the material from which
it was made was proper article rightly mil
led, or spurious in either, or both, material
and manufacture, yet in some articles of the
Hour kind, fraud can be and is perpetrated
not only resulting in profit to the perpetrator,
dishonesty gained, but to the financial and
physical detriment of the purchaser and con-
sumer. Among large class of people the
opinion prevails that daily article of brown
Dread dlet IS conducive to health, aiding di-
gestion ana resulting in pure blood, and not
lnuch thought is given to the constituents
composing the material from which the
Drown bread Is made, If 1t has the appearances

bread. 1t Is characteristic of graham fnnr

ground, whether closely kept or exposed to
the atmosphere, hence for family use, ordi-
narily, It is preferably procured in small
quantities. Frequently, however, sweeten-
ing is resorted to by the baker or cook, that
their graham bread may retain a uniformity
of taste to the extent of a peculiar sweetness.
grateful to the palate of the user, and the
sweetening process may be conducted to the
extent that the absence of the peculiar flavor
is not readily noticeable; consequently gra-
nam 9read Is more often dependent ON the
cook for quality of taste than on the flour
from which the bread is made, which gives
manufacturer opportunity to practice a pro-
fitable fraud with little danger of detection.
Observes: Genuine graham -four is the en-
TIRE tehedt perry cleaned and ground, and
Sent rom the mill unbolted. From it is sifted
by the bread maker the coarse bran. which is
ordinarily ABOUT 10 per cent. of the entire
grain, the remainder consisting of fine and
coarse flower, germ and comminuted particles
OF bran which give the flower and its bread
the dark or brown color. On account of this,
the consumer can not judge of quality of the
hour OF bread by the color, nor by the taste
when the bread is artificially sweetened by
the cook, and does not know what portion or
quality of valuable, healthful, nutritious
components may have been removed and
matter less desirable or absolutely injurious
to health substituted. This should be evil

With d vlcM 70 Tue prOmOtlOn OF health, the
buyer should consider wellthe reputation fer

We recently had sent us for analytical in
spection sample of graham flour, which at
the price at which it was marketed, and
from what it was claimed to be on the brand,
should have contained 16 per cent. of coarse
bran, per cent. of fine feed, and the remain
der patent and bakers flour, which if separ-
ated according to ordinary methods. would
have aggregated in retail market values 50
per hundred pounds. On examination we
found it to be doctored preparation, con-
sisting of % per cent coarse bran 13 per cent.

and the balance low grade flour, aggregating
in retail market values S1.22 per hundred

ground graham four and sold for q cents
per pound, and is being largely used by the
dyspeptically inclined, with the idea that
from the brown color and rougEness of the
bread made from it it is easily -digestable
and conducive to health. But, be it said to
the honor of millers, it is not the prodnct of
regular mill, but is prepared by mixer.

Mr. j. M. Deering of Saco, as will be seen
by his letter elsewhere published, believes
in thorough investigation of the cattle dis
ease So does the PRESS. So Mr.. Deering
and the PRESS are in harmony on that
point Mr.. Deering thinks that if there was
negligence when this disease first manifest
ed itself the other cattle commissioners are
as much to blame as Mr.. Gilbert, if blame
attaches to anybody. That is for the inves-
tigation to determine. Mr.. Deering thinks
the college farm should be restocked with
cattle. The PRESS dissents on that point.
The State College is for educational pur-
poses, not to raise cattle for the benefit of
farmers. 1t would be just as reasonable to
ask the State to set up an establishment to
manufacture moving machines and horse
rakes to be sold to the farmers at cost, or at
low price, as to ask it to go into the
business of cattle breeding so the farmers
can get cattle cheap. All such business is
outside the province of republican form of
government. We spoke of the State Col
iege instead of using its complete title of
state College of Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts for the same reason that Mr.. Deering
signed his initials to his communication in
stead OF writing out his name in full-it
saved time and space and answered every
purpose.

MAINE AND THE PENSION VETO.

The solid vote of our Maine delegation in
Congress for the so called dependant pension
bill originally, and for its passage over Presi.
dent Cleyeland's veto, meets the approval OF
not only the Union soldiers, but Of patriotic
citizens generally in Maine. Congressman
Dingley simply voiced the general Sentiment
people of the Uuion believe that il is The
duty Of the nation to give pension to those
"boys in blue" who went forth to defend the
nation in our peril, who are suffering for the
wants and the comforts of life, and that it is
stain on our honor to allow sdch soldier

The President has nominated another col
ored man for recorder of deeds in the Dis
trict Of Columbia-one Trotter from Massa-
ehusetts. The same objections lie to Trotter
that were made to Matthews, that he is not a

BILE to the people of the Capital. His nomi-
nation is only another exhibition of the
Presidents oDstinacy and determination to
have his own way.

1t now looks as If the retaliation bill would
fail for lack of agreement between the Sem

Dent empowered to stop all railway trains

the Democrats for tail twisting would have
made better impression on the country if it
had come sooner. The aim seems now to be

Hoadly by the Ohio club, Democratic or
ganization of Cincinnati, Saturday night,
Mr.. Hoadly spoke very vigorously and clear.
ly concerning the Democratic frauds in Ham
ilton county. He said among other things
that he hoped the Democracy of Cincin-
natl would never again allow an honor
able man to contemplate, as he had TO do,
with shame, his name credited with 800 votes

this remark it is quite as well for Hoadly

The crime for which Mrs. Druse was
hanged admits of no palliation. Enraged by
abusive words from her husband one morn
ing at breakfast she went out Of the room
and returned with pistol concealed under
her apron. In some way she got rope
round his neck, and calling in his neph-
ew. boy OF fourteen years, she compelled
him by threats to take the pistol and shoot
the man. He did so, and after that the
woman took the pistol and fired at her hus-
band again herself. Then, as he fell from
his chair, she struck himon the head with
an axe. Having killed him, she and her
daughter, who had been present all the time,
spent the rest of the day in cutting to pieces
and burning his body, while ''the boys
